		<description><![CDATA[Several hotly contested races are shaping up, especially in the June Republican primary, for Cecil County offices and state legislative seats as the clock ran down for individual candidates to file for office Tuesday evening. A fight between a splinter “liberty” group and other Republicans is brewing in one Council contest and for control of the county’s GOP Central Committee—while four local candidates are seeking one Cecil County Delegate seat in District 36. There were some last minute surprises, including the filing on Monday by Cecil County Councilor Alan McCarthy (R-1) for the state District 36 seat now held by Del. Michael Smigiel, a Republican. Smigiel had failed to receive the appointment to the state Senate seat vacated last summer by E.J. Pipkin and initially vowed to run in the 2014 election for the Senate slot. But in recent months he had not repeated that vow and instead on 2/21/14 filed, as many had expected, for re-election to the House of Delegates. McCarthy, who is a licensed veterinarian and businessman who lives in Chesapeake City, was elected to the County Council in 2012 after soundly defeating incumbent James Mullin, who was an ally of the “Smipkin” political organization led by [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 2014 Cecil County political contests took an interesting turn this week when George Patchell, executive director of the local YMCA, filed as a Republican candidate for County Council in District 4 to seek the seat held by controversial incumbent Diana Broomell. And Michael A. Dawson—known locally as “MAD Mike”—withdrew his candidacy for a state Senate seat in a newly drawn Cecil and Harford county district. Patchell, the longtime executive director of the Cecil County YMCA and a local resident whose family is well known in the area, filed his candidacy on Wednesday for the Republican nomination for the District 4 County Council seat. That seat is currently held by Broomell, a Republican who has been aggressively at odds with her fellow GOP County Council members for over a year. Another Republican, Michael W. Dawson—known locally, and in his ballot filings, as “Good Mike”—had already filed to run against Broomell. MWD Dawson has taken pains to differentiate himself from Michael A. Dawson, a highly controversial former Perryville town commissioner known locally as “MAD Mike” Dawson, who had filed to run for a state Senate seat but this week withdrew his candidacy.
